Sample Philadelphia’s History, Food, and Other Attractions

Lunch and Learn: Union Hotel

Enjoy a day in Philadelphia with a sampling of its historic attractions and a taste of its food from the Revolutionary period. The day starts with a guided tour of Independence Hall and then moves on to the Liberty Bell where we will learn its story. Move on to City Tavern, site of George Washington's pre-Inaugural Ball and site of the first Fourth of July celebration in 1777 (you may also have seen the restaurant's chef on public TV's Taste of History). There we will enjoy a three-course lunch with a glass of wine. Choose either a tavern country salad with raspberry shrub vinaigrette or New England corn chowder for a first course. Main course options are a fillet of salmon with béarnaise or medallions of beef with Burgundy demi-glace or escalopes of veal; each will be accompanied by mashed potatoes and a seasonal vegetable. Dessert will be chef's selection. Our lunch will also include the history of the tavern and a bit of Philadelphia history. After lunch, enjoy a stroll through Reading Terminal Market, a food market that has existed since 1892 but with much earlier roots. Bus will have coolers for any of your purchases that need refrigeration. Please make lunch entrée choices on the liability form when registering. Cost: $109

The Discovery of Homo naledi in a South African Cave Guest Speaker: Ms. Becca Peixotto, Archeologist from American University Recently, the archeological world became electrified about the discovery of a new species of our hominid ancestors, Homo naledi, found in the Rising Star Cave in South Africa. The excavation of these fossils was featured in the Nova/National Geographic special, Dawn of Humanity, which is currently nominated for an Emmy Award.

Our speaker, Ms Becca Peixotto, a Maryland resident, was one of the six women chosen. Join us to hear Ms. Peixotto discuss her adventures with the Rising Star Excavation and the ways Homo naledi is changing how we think about human evolution and the value of exploration. Committed to inspiring girls and women to pursue a career in science, Ms. Peixotto will inspire us all as she discusses one of the most exciting archeological discoveries of our time.

REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Enrollment in Continuing Education courses is limited to those 16 and older, except for courses that specify they are open to those under 16. 2. Non-citizens must provide original documentation (most current resident card, work card, or visa) to register. Students must register in person at the Continuing Education Registration Office in Edgewood Hall. Please note: Non-citizens who have never taken a credit or noncredit class at HCC must go to the Credit Registration Office in the Student Center the first time they register. 3. The College prohibits the enrollment of individuals listed on the National or Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sex Offender Registry or with the Harford County Child Advocacy Unit.

CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS

Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the College. All address changes should be reported to the Continuing Education & Training Office. If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.

RESIDENCY SURCHARGE

Out-of-county residents (except senior adults, disabled retired students, and students receiving a Maryland National Guard member course fee waiver) pay a $20 surcharge per course for each Continuing Education course that charges tuition. If you were an out-ofcounty resident at the time of your last registration and have since moved in-county, you must complete a Student Statement of Domicile for Tuition Purposes form and provide two forms of identification in order to have the $20 surcharge waived when registering. You may obtain the form by calling 443-412-2376, opt. 1 or visiting the registration desk in Edgewood Hall. Appropriate forms of identification include a driver’s license, voter registration card, or utility bill showing name and Harford County address. All out-of-state residents pay a $35 surcharge per course for all Continuing Education courses that charge tuition. Fees, where applicable, are the same for all students.

Disabled Retiree Tuition Waiver Any resident of the State of Maryland who is retired from the workplace by reason of total and permanent disability is eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses. These courses are state-funded and contain the icon u in the course description. If the course description contains this icon, disabled retirees do not pay tuition for the course. Fees, however, must be paid in full. Please note that there is no out-of-county surcharge for disabled retired students.

HARFORD STUDENT ID

To receive the disabled retiree course fee waiver, the student must provide certification from the Social Security Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board, or the appropriate federal pension/retirement authority stating that the student receives both disability and retirement benefits [Annotated Code of Maryland section 16106-c]. A copy of their Social Security Administration benefits letter must be provided with the student’s registration form. The waiver is valid for one school year, or the remainder of the school year, beginning each summer.

PAYMENT

Senior Adult Course Fee Waiver

All students will be assigned a Harford student identification number. The H-ID begins with a capital H followed by eight randomly assigned digits. HCC will still need a Social Security number for certain mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment. Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

Payment for all Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. Failure to pay will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376, opt. 1 before the class begins in order to process a drop.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, call 443-412-2376, opt. 1 before the class begins in order to process a drop.

u = Senior Adult and Disabled Retiree Tuition Waivers Apply

Maryland residents 60 years of age or older at the time of registration are eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses. These courses are state-funded and contain the icon u in the course description. If the course description contains this icon, senior adults do not pay tuition for the course.

AVIATION Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)/Drone Technology Certificate Drones, also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have no human pilot onboard, and instead are either controlled by a person on the ground or autonomously via a computer program. These stealth craft are becoming increasingly popular, not just for war and military purposes, but also for everything from wildlife and atmospheric research to disaster relief and sports photography. Drones are becoming the eyes and ears of scientists by surveying the ground for archaeological sites, signs of illegal hunting and crop damage, and even zipping inside hurricanes to study the wild storms. You can even rent a personal drone to soar above the horizon and snap a photo or video. (Narrative credited to livescience.com).

CORE Leadership was created to enhance the skills of local leaders. It is a highly interactive program designed to further improve the personal leadership skills through a ten-session program.

Inspired by the Harford Leadership Academy (HLA), CORE Leadership is a weekly mid-tosenior level program focused on personal leadership development for established leaders. Participants are expected to already have a working knowledge of the various facets of the county’s economic picture, how the layers in the community are networked, and the region’s key players and their roles. Participants will be challenged to reflect and analyze on how their leadership styles can be honed for greater success in their work and personal life.

CORE Leadership Goals: CORE is designed to improve the student’s ability to see the big picture and take a longer range, broader business perspective, and specifically covers: • Ensuring strategy execution • Reviewing organizational structure as both a whole entity and its integral parts, and how to flow strategy though it • Acknowledging corporate climate and addressing needed change • Encourage individuals to take an active role in the growth and transformation of Harford County

The CORE Leadership facilitators and lead instructors are David Litterello (Business Intelligence Manager at Siemens Healthcare), and Scott Walton (Founder of Velocity Performance Apparel). Partnering with other invited guest presenters, they lead students through a variety of key topics and exercises to promote understanding and use of best practices. Students will be challenged to apply their learning to their own professional and personal lives. Guest presenters will occasionally lead the discussion to present practical knowledge in their areas of expertise. At least two field trips will be included in the program, including a visit to a local high tech facility as well as Gettysburg National Battlefield.
